Default To all the vendors here!!!!!!!!!!!

When is somebody going to come out with a good set of rocker arms for the C7????????

All these high end parts...high speed lifters, 3/8 rods, high lift spring kit titanium keepers/locks/valves and what sits on top of them....stock rockers.

Is the LT rocker much different than the LS rockers that have performed amazingly well at high power levels?

That is the only thing holding me back.
I might need to be more specific though..... a good set of shaft mounted like the T&D heavy duties.

Just checked T&D and they have nothing and left a message with Jesel. The "LT" that T&D refer to are the Vortech/LT1 heads.

Just got a reply back from Jezel.

I'm guessing shaft mounts are out for obvious reasons. I paid $1400 for my LS Comp cams/T&D shaft mount rockers. Plus they had the lubricating system. Going to try to contact T&D as well just to see.

This is really high for pedestal...

DavidI have attached a link below. The rocker with hardware is $245.00 each.

Apparently he was absolutely correct.
Here is T&D

The part number for this set is 15014, price is $1430.00. time frame right now is right at 10 weeks from time of order.

I was told last year they had no plans.....obviously that's changed. Going to look for pics.

I had the TD rockers on my G8 they were built like a tank and i took it to 8500 all the time. The rockers are my missing link. Everything else can handle those speeds in my C7 but for now i wont go past 7k

the oem rockers are great just like in the lsx stuff. only reason to change is if going solid roller.

On my personal shop/race car i run oem rockers with the trunions upgraded and rev to 7600 and make 1500.

I dont trust them for high lift/high speed duty. Seen too many times where stock rockers and lifters fail.
